BREAK THE ATOM (Continued from Page One) gen atoms began to break up Into helium, a still rarer gas.

Scientists have long hoped to split an atom, some contending that when this feat was accomplished a bound less sourco of energy would be avail able. There have been extremists who feared the accomplishment would mean the hurling of the world to destruction. Asked how his experiment com pared with those of Drs. Milllkan and Anderson in the United States, Dr. Cockroft said he had seen no official confirmation of Dr. MUlikan's work. , "It Is a well known theory that cosmic rays are produced by breaking of atoms In stars," he said. "This, however, Is quite a different matter ffom the laboratory experiment In the disintegration of the atom." Dr. Carl Anderson, at the Calif ornia Institute oU Technology, de vised an electro-magnet last year which mado passible the photography of an atom nucleus while it was be ing dissipated by cosmlo rays.
